Chapter 223
Hearing this, Dean was incensed,
Nevertheless, he had to admit that what the person on the other end of the line said was true.
At present, the Clarke Corporation could either file for bankruptcy or pay the indemnity in accordance with the contract. There
was no other way out.
At this critical moment, an offer to buy his shares was like pennies from heaven.
But the offer was made by Olivia!
A corporation, William’s rival, had made an offer to buy the Clarke Corporation’s shares, but he, who believed that it intended to
profit from his difficult situation, rejected it.
His stalling this issue until now made his shares worthless.
He wanted to swear at the person over the phone, but given the current situation, he couldn’t do that.
He fell silent for a long while before finally saying through clenched teeth, “Okay, I agree, but I want to sign the contract with
Olivia in person.”
“I will ask Miss Clarke for her opinion. If she agrees, I will contact you before the end of tonight,” the person said over the phone.
Dean hung up the phone with a heavy heart.
Once he sold his shares, he would lose the Clarke Corporation forever.
At the sight of Dean’s gloomy face, Griffin asked cautiously, “Mr. Clarke, what happened?”
Dean let out a long sigh, stood up, and said, “Alas, pack up our stuff. We aren’t going to sell the project!”
“Uh, in that case, are we going to give up the Clarke Corporation?” Griffin asked.
“I’m going to sell my shares and give up the Clarke Corporation!” Dean said, thinking, “It was just an empty shell deeply in debt.
As long as I can get the money, I don’t mind giving it up to that unfilial daughter!”
Dean, who soon straightened out his thinking, led Griffin to pack up his stuff and then go to a restaurant to celebrate in advance.
Olivia, who came back from the International Council of Nonprofits, had a feeling of oppression, so she asked Gideon to drive
her to Chelsea’s home.
It happened to be time for dinner, so she could have dinner there.
When she got into the house after entering the password, Chelsea was sitting on the sofa reading a cookbook.
At the same time, Ezra was sitting on a single sofa, drinking chocolate milk and trying his new laptop.
When Ezra saw Olivia enter the house, his eyes instantly lit up.
He, whose legs were short, strode forward towards her excitedly, saying, “Mom!”
“Ezra, did you behave well at Aunt Chelsea’s home? Where’s Luci?” Olivia asked. The moment she saw her beloved son, her
gloomy mood suddenly improved. She bent down to hold him in her arms.
She walked into the living room while chatting with him.
“Lucian has gone to the Goldentop International Villas with Uncle Smith for an examination,” he replied.
“Here you are, Liv. Come on, tell me if Mr. Kinsman really cheated on you?” Chelsea, who poked her head o cookbook and saw
Olivia’s gloomy face, immediately put down the cookbook and ran toward her while aski
She showed a strong curiosity about their story.
Seeing her expression, Olivia was stunned and then put down the little guy in her arms.
She said, “Go upstairs and play there, Ezra. I have something to talk with Aunt Chelsea.”
Chelsea was so excited just now that she forgot that the wicked boy was still present. She covered her mouth guiltily.
Ezra looked at Olivia and then at Chelsea, nodded obediently and quickly went upstairs with his children’s laptop in his
arms.
But he actually did not go upstairs.
His dad cheated on his mom. It was impossible for him, who had a strong desire to know more about this, to go upstairs!
Ezra hid in the corner and tried his best to avoid being discovered. Then, he put on his headphones and silently connected them
to his children’s mobile phone under the sofa cus hion.
At this moment, in the living room.
Chelsea was eager to know more about what had happened between William and Olivia. She had even prepared a plate of
cantaloupe and chocolate milk in advance when she received the Skype message from Olivia, ready to talk about William’s affair
as soon as Olivia arrived.
Although she was Olivia’s bestie, she had cursed William roundly in the message she sent Olivia as soon as she received the
news, and she had even stopped serving dinner to Jameson, William’s close friend who came for dinner every night.
However, after observing William over the past few days, she still had an intuition that he was not that kind of person.
There might be some misunderstanding between William and Olivia.
“Tell me, Liv, what’s going on? Didn’t Mr. Kinsman give you all his assets? Why does he suddenly have a fiancee?” Chelsea
asked.
“I don’t know. The daughter of a financial magnate suddenly appeared, and they seem to have known each other before,” Olivia
told the truth with a gloomy face.
She was annoyed at the thought of Jodie clinging to William in a coquettish manner.
She even felt the urge to hit someone!
“They’ve known each other before? In the past few years, I’ve never heard of any women, who tried to throw themselves at Mr.
Kinsman, other than Gianna. Could it be that they had illicit sexual relations? Wow, that’s unbelievable. Mr. Kinsman is quite
dissolute!” Chelsea said.
Olivia was speechless.
She even found that Chelsea was right.
William’s fiancee was from a noble family and was good-looking. They had known each other for a long time and did a good job
in keeping her existence secret.
Thinking about all these things, Olivia believed that he had planned to deceive her long before!
“Liv, how do you feel after learning that Mr. Kinsman has cheated on you? Are you angry or heartbroken?” Chelsea asked.
“Nothing special. I’m just annoyed because he deceived me. Since he has had such a perfect fiancee in secret, why did he still
pester me to maintain our relationship? He could have announced Mrs. Kinsman’s death when I was missing,” Olivia said.
“Aren’t you a little jealous?” Chelsea tried to lead her to confess her feelings for William, sparing no effort to sound out her
romantic life.
“I’m not jealous at all. I don’t care who he likes. I’m just displeased to be fooled!” Olivia paused and then said stubbornly.
When she saw how intimate Jodie and William were, she did feel a little jealous, but that was not the point. She was more angry
than jealous.
Yes, she was angry!
“Since that scu mbag cheated on you, you should not get stuck in your relationship with him. Why don’t we go out to have some
fun?” Chelsea suggested.
“Huh?” Olivia said.
“Let me tell you, Liv. There are countless handsome men in the world, and at least half of them are in Melburgh. Let’s go and
enjoy extravagant lives before the scu mbag takes back his assets worth more than hundreds of millions of dollars!” As Chelsea
spoke, she pulled Olivia up and walked out.
As she walked past the stairs, she did not forget to call out to Ezra, who was hiding in the corner, “My dear Ezra, your mommy
and I are going out shopping. Stay at home and be a good boy!”
At this moment, Ezra was hiding with his head behind a suitcase-at the stairs, while his butt was exposed.
He, who acted like a cat shutting its eyes when stealing cream, was so cute!
-Ezra pretended not to hear it, because he believed as long as he kept silent, his mother would not discover that he was
